Will the U.S.

truly enforce its blockade or will it do what it did with the blockade of Cuba?

When Russians send ships into Cuba, the U.S.

backed down and allowed the Russian ships to just get into Cuba.

You also have announcements that the U.S.

is getting ready to have mine sweepers enter the Persian Gulf and particularly the Strait of Hormuz.

The US Navy is apparently moving in multiple minesweeping ships.

As Donald Trump has behaved in perhaps the most deranged manner yet, we'll talk about that in a little bit as well, some of the posts that he's been making.

know he's acting like iran's been totally obliterated is begging for anything to survive iran sent its top leaders to go to this uh negotiation or what it thought would be a negotiation in pakistan phds people who have been diplomats for a very long period of time they took it very seriously you know they have a lot of their missiles are still intact a lot of their fast ships are still intact

And so if this is truly going to be the plan that Donald Trump is pursuing, I think it's going to lead to confrontation very soon.

And my hope is that's not the case.

But if Donald Trump truly intends to enter the Strait of Hormuz area with military ships, Iran's going to go after it.

And perhaps that's what Donald Trump wants.

Perhaps he wants to use the ships as bait.

You know, during those negotiations in Pakistan,

The Trump regime tried to send two naval destroyers into the Strait of Hormuz, a ship belonging to the Iranian Navy.

Yes, Iran still has ships, despite what Trump and some U.S.

media tells you.

Reached the U.S.

naval destroyers and said, turn around or we're going to blow you up.
